Daniel Borkmann says:
====================
tcp: receive-side per route dctcp handling
Original cover letter:
Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
- responder has f.e. cubic as system wide default
- 'ip route congctl dctcp $src' was set
Then, DCTCP is NOT used if a DCTCP sender attempts to connect from a
host in the $src range: ECT(0) is set, but listen_sk is not dctcp, so
we fail the INET_ECN_is_not_ect sanity check.
We also have to examine the dst used for the SYN/ACK reply to make
this case work.
In order to minimize additional cost, store the 'ecn is must have'
information is the dst_features field.
The set targets -next instead of -net since this doesn't seem to be a
serious bug and to give the change more soak time until it hits linus
tree.
v1 -> v2:
- Addressed Dave's feedback, not exposing any bits to user space
- Added patch 3 to reject incorrect configurations
- Rest as is, rebased and retested

Currently, the following case doesn't use DCTCP, even if it should:
A responder has f.e. Cubic as system wide default, but for a specific
route to the initiating host, DCTCP is being set in RTAX_CC_ALGO. The
initiating host then uses DCTCP as congestion control, but since the
initiator sets ECT(0), tcp_ecn_create_request() doesn't set ecn_ok,
and we have to fall back to Reno after 3WHS completes.
We were thinking on how to solve this in a minimal, non-intrusive
way without bloating tcp_ecn_create_request() needlessly: lets cache
the CA ecn option flag in RTAX_FEATURES. In other words, when ECT(0)
is set on the SYN packet, set ecn_ok=1 iff route RTAX_FEATURES
contains the unexposed (internal-only) DST_FEATURE_ECN_CA. This allows
to only do a single metric feature lookup inside tcp_ecn_create_request().
Joint work with Florian Westphal.

Document the addition of a new sysctl variable which controls the

224.0.0.X range.
IGMP reports for local multicast groups can now be optionally
inhibited by setting the value to zero e.g.:

by default on system boot or reverted by setting the value back to

Poll() returns immediately after setting the kernel current frame
(ring->head) to SKIP from user space even though there is no new
frame. And in a case of all frames is VALID, user space program
unintensionally sets (only) kernel current frame to UNUSED, then
calls poll(), it will not return immediately even though there are
VALID frames.
To avoid situations like above, I think we need to scan all frames
to find VALID frames at poll() like netlink_alloc_skb(),
netlink_forward_ring() finding an UNUSED frame at skb allocation.

CQ/RBDR interrupts, stats e.t.c. Useful when DUT has no external

This patch adds support for handling multiple qsets assigned to a
single VF. There by increasing no of queues from earlier 8 to max
no of CPUs in the system i.e 48 queues on a single node and 96 on
dual node system. User doesn't have option to assign which Qsets/VFs
to be merged. Upon request from VF, PF assigns next free Qsets as
secondary qsets. To maintain current behavior no of queues is kept
to 8 by default which can be increased via ethtool.
If user wants to unbind NICVF driver from a secondary Qset then it
should be done after tearing down primary VF's interface.

This patch configures HW to strip 802.1Q header if found in a
receiving packet. The stripped VLAN ID and TCI information is
passed on to software via CQE_RX. Also sets netdev's 'vlan_features'
so that other HW offload features can be used for tagged packets.
This offload feature can be enabled or disabled via ethtool.
Network stack normally ignores RPS for 802.1Q packets and hence low
throughput. With this offload enabled throughput for tagged packets
will be almost same as normal packets.
Note: This patch doesn't enable HW VLAN insertion for transmit packets.

- add missing memset of padding.
Changes in V3:

- use memcpy to copy the buffer data to stat instead of unalign_pu (Joe)
- Move buffer definition to leaf function __snmp6_fill_stats64() (Eric)
-
Changes in V2:
- Allocate the stat calculation buffer in stack. (Eric)
Setup:
160 cpu (20 core) baremetal powerpc system with 1TB memory
1000 docker containers was created with command
docker run -itd ubuntu:15.04 /bin/bash in loop
observation:
Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) perf data showed, creating veth interfaces resulting in
the below code path was taking more time.
rtnl_fill_ifinfo
-> inet6_fill_link_af
-> inet6_fill_ifla6_attrs
-> snmp_fold_field
proposed idea:
currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data to of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
The patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.
Performance of docker creation improved by around more than 2x
after the patch.

Docker container creation linearly increased from around 1.6 sec to 7.5 sec
(at 1000 containers) and perf data showed 50% ovehead in snmp_fold_field.
reason: currently __snmp6_fill_stats64 calls snmp_fold_field that walks
through per cpu data of an item (iteratively for around 36 items).
idea: This patch tries to aggregate the statistics by going through
all the items of each cpu sequentially which is reducing cache
misses.
Docker creation got faster by more than 2x after the patch.
Result:
Before After
Docker creation time 6.836s 3.25s
cache miss 2.7% 1.41%
perf before:
50.73% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_fold_field
9.07% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
3.49% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one
2.85% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock
perf after:
10.57% docker docker [.] scanblock
8.37% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
6.91% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snmp_get_cpu_field
6.67% docker [kernel.kallsyms] [k] veth_stats_one
changes/ideas suggested:
Using buffer in stack (Eric), Usage of memset (David), Using memcpy in
place of unaligned_put (Joe).

On Alpha we have spinlocks that are 32b in size and an efficient
cmpxchg64 implementation, so we qualify to make use of cmpxchg backed
lockrefs. Select the ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF Kconfig symbol and provide
a trivial implementation of arch_spin_value_unlocked to satisfy the
lockref code.
Using Linus' simple testcase from
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.file-systems/77466 on a dual CPU
ES47 system I see around an 8% gain:
N Min Max Median Avg Stddev
x 30 6194580 6295654 6272504 6272514 17694.232
+ 30 6731164 6786334 6767982 6764274 13738.863
Difference at 95.0% confidence
491760 +/- 8188.17
7.83992% +/- 0.130541%
